Special characters (9 posts)

Kath H Member

Help please! I've made two test files to demonstrate the problem I'm having - special characters such as £ appear as themselves in my source code, which is correct with character encoding utf-8 as far as I know.

After upload, those characters are changed to question marks in the source code viewed through Firefox, as weird little boxes via Safari.

Of course they don't display correctly. I've tried uploading in automatic mode and also as Macbinary, and I've tried uploading to different webhosts.

I see Close topic, Archive, Move, Delete at the bottom - maybe I'd just be told I'm not authorised, as when I tried to edit your post. I'm not used to boards where the buttons show up for operations I can't carry out.
